  • Publication number: 20020125846
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for controlling current limit of a motor of an electric-powered vehicle, the current limit of the motor is initially set to a smaller first value during start-up operation of the vehicle. Thereafter, in response to operation of a twist-grip throttle of the vehicle to commence accelerating operation of the vehicle subsequent to the start-up operation, the current limit of the motor is increased from the smaller first value to a larger second value larger than the smaller first value in accordance with angular rotation of the twist-grip throttle from an initial position. When the current limit reaches the larger second value, the current limit of the motor is then maintained at the larger second value in case of further operation of the twist-grip throttle from the initial position.
